Livery readies for double
dose duri;ng comedic bill

The Livery stage is a
buzz of activity this week
as cast and crew gear up
for another Goderich Lit-
tle Theatre (GLT) produc-
tion.
Joint directorial team
Nina Reynolds and Susan
Armstrong have paired
up for the second time to
showcase some of the ar-
eas up-and-coming talent
with two one -act produc-
tions, The Death of Me,
and Black Comedy.
Black Comedy leads
off a night of slapstick
and comedy courtesy of
the GLT, as the single -act
Norm Foster original turns
light to dark, literally.
The play is a farce set
in a London flat during an
electrical blackout, and is
written to be staged un-
der a reversed lighting
scheme: that is, the play
opens with a dinner party
beginning on a darkened
stage, then a few min-
utes into the show "a fuse
blows", the stage lights
come up, and the charac-
ters are seen shambling
around apparently invis-
ible to one another.
"In the play, the light-
ing is reversed," Reynolds
explained recently while
putting the final touches
on an elaborately simple
set design. "When it's
dark for the characters,
stage lights are on full. If
they light a match, point a
flashlight, stage lights go
down. It really is some-
thing to see."
After the physical and
tense comedy wraps up,
another, more stationary
and dialogue -driven play
begins with The Death of.
Me.
"Ever wondered what it
would be like to suddenly
find yourself summoned
before the Angel of Death
for the completion of
documents necessary for
your new post-mortem
life? Possibly not nearly
as amusing as Canadian
playwright Norm Foster
pictures it in his latest
play, The Death of Me."
That's part of what jour-
nalist Bob Clark of the
Calgary Herald had to say
of the Foster composition
that has taken shape once
more, this time in Goder-
ich.
"In some
ways, the
two plays are opposite
each other," said Reyn-
olds. "While this first has
an awful lot to do with
physical slapstick, chang-
ing quickly between four
scenes, the second stays
in one place with a heavy
dialogue -driven humor."
The result, Reynolds
and Armstrong agree, is
an evening of "fun enter-
tainment."
The pair first teamed up
in 2008 when they staged
